The long-weekend means another blitz by the Ontario Provincial Police.
This one focuses on proper seat belt use.
The OPP’s Kerry Schmidt tells us buckling up is something we can’t forget to do.
The officer says there were 61 seat belt-related deaths last year, and so far in 2023 there have been nine.
The OPP stresses that a properly worn seat belt that keeps you in your seat during a crash or rollover is one of the few things that can actually save your life.
